What root patches can restore
- Graphics drivers and acceleration
- WiFi drivers
- Bluetooth drivers
- Touch Bar and T1 drivers
- Built-in iSight camera drivers
- USB 1.1 drivers
- Other compatibility patches for older drivers
When to run post-install patches
Run post-install patches after the installed macOS system boots. OCLP can automatically root patch some systems if you created the USB installer inside OCLP and selected the correct model before installer creation.
- Run patches after a fresh OCLP macOS install.
- Run patches again after each macOS update.
- If graphics acceleration is missing or the system feels unusually slow, check whether you installed root patches.
Packages that may require internet
Some systems need additional packages during patching. Ivy Bridge, Haswell, and NVIDIA Kepler systems on Sequoia or newer may need MetallibSupportPkg. Macs with AMD legacy GCN GPUs on Ventura or newer may need KDKSupportPkg.
If only WiFi patches install first
Reboot, connect to the internet, and run root patching again so OCLP can download the remaining packages.
